Super Bowl Munchies: Spinach Dip

For a recent game night, I tried out a new spinach dip.

The base is pureed white beans -- and no, you can't really tell that's the base. Rather, you taste the garlic, spinach, and a hint of lemon.

The dip is creamy, and tasted great served cold or warm. I divided the recipe in half; served half cold with veggies, and warmed the other half in the toaster oven until bubbly. I sprinkled a layer of cheese atop the half that I baked... yum!

It would be an excellent {and healthier} addition to your Super Bowl Menu; perfect with Bagel Crisps.

My husband wanted a snack and my daughter insisted it be healthy. Oh yum yum yum! This has been a delicious treat this afternoon! I made it with fresh spinach and served it with multi-grain pita chips. Everyone is happy and our tummy's are full.

When cooking, please make sure to follow kitchen hygiene and safety -- cook meat until internal temperature is at safe levels, always check labels for allergens, and use caution in the kitchen -- I love sharing recipes, but I am not liable for damages done as a result of trying these recipes.
